Yup, got em on Friday, they're powder coated. I did the rears on Sat with the Stillen drilled sport rotors and matrix pads. Painted the rear calipers with high temp red. Sunday I jumped on the big brakes. Everything went fine except for removing the front caliper bolts. They must have overdone the thread locker. It was a struggle even with an 18" breaker bar.
I bled the fronts twice but the pedal still feels spongy. I think I will bleed them again in a day or so.
I especially like the looks of the 2 piece rotors. Strange though that they didn't use wider pads. They appear to cover only the outer 2/3 of the rotor. Seems that wider pads would = greater braking force?
Thanks again everyone for your help and input.
